But I don't like pie.

And? I do.

Would you deliver an explosive pie if I needed it? If it was really important?

No. But I'd hit people. Explosives, especially someone else's are no fun. I'd probably end up doing defense against meringue or something.

he never believes the whitefont stuff.

What whitefont?

Good advice, ita. Also -- cannoli? Yum. Cannoli pie!

(A woman who knows Sondheim and The Godfather? Goddess.)

Okay. Hitting people is more than sufficient. Besides, it was going to be a pop-rocks kind of explosion, so meringue would have been the worst of it.

There is no whitefont, only Zul.

And on that note, I shall go take a nap. Because I can.

Kristen, don't let him buy you off with cannoli pie. Please. Unsweetened apple will be fine.

No. But I'd hit people.

YOU WOULD HIT ME?!?!?!

It is kind of scary that one of the best hours of television ever was written in a weekend.

Honestly, that doesn't surprise me. In my experience the best artists are usually also the fastest, because when things are working just right the art is spilling out of the creative parts of their minds as fast as their hands can create it. I would assume that the same holds true with the creative writing process when it's clicking, despite using different tools and a different medium. Out of Gas was a thing of beauty, and it seems natural to me that it would take less time to get it on the page than something less inspired that would involve false starts and second-guessing.

Or, to boil it down, Tim write goooood.

YOU WOULD HIT ME?!?!?!

She didn't ask who I'd deliver a pie to. She asked if I'd deliver a pie.

I'm interested in Kristen's opinion on it all

I thought it was quite good. Tim was all smart and funny and charming. (At one point, G turned to me and said, "He's too hilarious. Is he always like this? How can you stand it?") He was very nice about shooting down people's ideas and, also, explained why the idea wouldn't work.

I was surprised by how many people participated. There were a lot of people throwing out ideas and asking questions.

So, if I'm grading, excellents across the board. The only way it could've been better is if it had been a smaller class.

the conference people treated my like I Was Very Important

But of course, and that is as it should be

And you know what? Tim? Really good teacher.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've seen the man respond with patience and detail when answering questions here. When you were first discussing him doing this thing I thought immediately that he would make a fine teacher.

Very disturbing is the sooper seekrit Firefly plot.

A big Awww on the whitefont I'm not surprised if Allyson has no memory from the LAF2F. She was such a nervous wreck despite the fabulous job she did.

We have bribeworthy canoli nearby here. I recommend its use.

Allyson rocks. Even in whitefont.

I suspect the sooper secret "Firefly" plot invovles juggling geese.
